A woman’s work is never done. Being female entails unique challenges whether it’s the stress of employment during pregnancy, the fact that married women are 3 times as likely to suffer from depression than married men, or encountering the gender obstacles to success that seem unsurmountable.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, authentic, compassionate and client-centered. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care. I provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment that centers on client needs. Each therapy session promotes personal growth and success!
You are trying to keep everything together and running smoothly, but inside you feel exhausted and overwhelmed. You don’t have to feel this way any more.

Women's Issues: Women, through all the stages of their lives, have issues that are specific to their gender. We have hormonal challenges that can affect us in many different ways. In a male-dominated culture, we can often feel different and sometimes alone. Women need to be in a respected space where they feel safe exploring the ways they feel their gender has affected them.
I have lead a monthly Women's Group for twenty plus years and believe that women need other women. No matter our roles, education, profession, or personality, understanding our femininity is positively rewarding.
Because I am a woman who has experienced health challenges, parenting, divorce and aging and have studied and practiced with the tools I use in Mindfulness techniques and Coaching I feel confident that I can relate to most womens challenges and provide support and guidance.
